By Joe Williams a a a Golf Win Unpredictable * n u Best Players May ‘Blow’ Top Book Odds 10 to 1
YORK, June 7.—During the regime of Bobby Jones, golf was a reasonably simple proposition for the sports forecaster. The chubby Southerner was always the man the rest of the field had to beat. And it wasn’t very often that the field was successful. Now that Jones has turned his broad shoulders on the game as a competitive sport, golf again becomes the most unpredictable of all sports—the only sport where even the greatest of the stars figure no better in a fair betting book than Consider the National Open Championship which got under way over the Merion course just outside of Philadelphia today. Three players are grouped as favorites—Gene Sarazen, Paul Runyan and Craig Wood. But there are at least twenty other players with sufficient capability to win. Before the week is over some comparatively unknown player may be ruling the bunkers. a a a a a a SO many things can happen to a golfer’s game over a brief, but disrupting, stretch that it is absurd to single out any one player and say, “There is your man; he can’t lose.” Occasionally you can do this in a prize light, in a tennis match, or in a hoss race, but golf is an entirely different piece of muslin. The slightest flaw in a putting stroke may be enough to throw a golfer with an otherwise perfect equipment clear out of the running. Another thing, no golfer can be altogether sure just how long he is going to remain in full command of his shots. He can be leading the field, moving along like a machine, when, without warning, his game may go to pieces. a a a a a a THAT’S what makes golf so unpredictable, especially in these big championships. I saw the great Harry Vardon blow up with a deafening roar over the last five holes when apparently he had the 1920 championship safely tucked away in his bag at Toledo. All week Vardon, perhaps the greatest stylist golf has ever known, had been playing flawless golf. This was one time when there was a genuine standout in the field, a favorite who seemed certain to justify the confidence of his backers. He came to the fourteenth hole of the final round with a lead of five strokes over his nearest competitor. It didn’t seem that he could possibly lose. But Vardon did lose, and he lost because what had been the strongest part of his game— putting—suddenly became the weakest. Where he had been dropping his putts from all over the green with incredible accuracy now he found that he could not drop even the simple little ones. On the next three holes he took eight or nine putts, I forget just which, and was out. a a a a a a IF that could happen to a Vardon it should be easy to persuade you to believe that it can happen to any player at Merion. Two years ago Sarazen furnished another conspicuous example of the elusiveness of golf form. He won the 3ritish open and the American open in succession. One other major championship remained to be decided—the P. G. A. If Sarazen could win the professionals’ match play championship he would have completed a grand slam comparable to that of Jones in 1930 when the southerner won all the titles golf had to offer. Sarazen was keen to achieve this distinction. No other professional had been able to do it up to then. Wha* happened? Sarazen not only failed to win the championship, but he failed even to qualify. The superb form that had carried him to victory in the British open and the American open deserted him completely and he spent the week on the sidelines watching his fellowprofessionals battle for the championship he had so ardently hoped to win.
A Tough Guy Reforms ‘Cry-Baby’ Zaharias Is Hero for Night, but Loses Title Tussle to Londos by Head.
BY VERN BOXELL HERO for a night—that was the theme song of George Zaharias when Greek met Greek in the top wrestling tussle at Sports arena last night. But the weeping bad man, who changed overnight from a top-ranking public enemy to the people’s choice, waited after a spectacular start and Jim Londos carried his championship toga safely, although somewhat
ruffled, from the ring. Big George and Handsome Jim knuckled down to hard work right from the start and the 4,500 fans who jammed the wooden bowl got an eyeful of first-class grappling. tt a st ZAHARIAS, for once forsaking the petty punching and other nefarious tricks, was breezing along in front during the first fifty minutes of tussling. Then he took off on a flying tackle aimed at Londos’ midriff and wound up head first on the rung of Chair 6, Row 1, Section A. Although he was wrestling a champion more than even, the Colorado bone-crusher was no match for the wooden chair, and thereby hangs Mr. Londos’ victory. Zaharias managed to crawl back through the ropes, but his tenure under the arc lights was shortlived, for Londos bumped him right out at the same spot. Once in the ring again, the reformed “cry-baby” was easy prey for a back slam. He made a most undignified exit from the ring—feet first in the arms pf three or four firemen and volunteers—and after the usual tenminute rest period, it was announced that Zaharias was unable to return, Londos winning by an old French custom —default. a tt a BUT the fifty minutes which preceded all this were well worth while. On at least tw r o occasions, the champion was forced to crawl ignominously under the ropes to escape punishing Zaharias holds. Twice again, the Adonis brow which wears the crown was parked outside the ring, its owner hurtled there by brawny George. All w r as not roses for the western tough guy, however. Londos, as polished a grappler as ever grunted, has a large sackful of tricks himself which he used to good advantage and to Zaharias’ pain. Even if he did lose, however. Zaharias can flash a smile of satisfaction today. Booed vociferously when he first entered the ring, he was cheered long and loudly at the finish—hero for a night. a tt n IN the semi-windup, Frank Speers outroughed Sun Jennings, and slammed his opponent after twelve minutes of rough and tumble.

President Heydler levied no suspensions. When Frisch protested Rigler’s decision calling Medwick out at the plate in the twelfth inning, Frankie seized Rigler’s arm. In the scuffle, Frisch was struck by Rigler’s mask. St. Louis players rushed at the umpire and a riot threatened. Chicago won the game in the thirteenth, dropping the Cardinals out of the National League lead. Favorites Remain in Western Meet Mrs. 0. S. Hill Is Among Quarter-Finalists.

are, in order of importance, Paul Runyan, Tommy Armour and Johnny Goodman. Runyan “Money Player” According to many excellent golf authorities Runyan is the most dangerous man of the tourney. He gets fairish distance off the tee, but is not a long hitter. Merion requires placing rather than length. Merion also asks for miraculously controlled short approach shots, and Runyan has a bag full of them. Runyan was the big money winner of the grapefruit circuit and this is his first big test since he forged himself into the front down south. Armour gets a whole lot of notice almost solely because Sarazen says he ought to. Armour actually has been below par in the several practice rounds played this week, although Tom has turned in cards totaling 72 and better. Goodman Confident Goodman will be watched because he’s the defending champion. John offered some doleful predictions as to his chances when he came back from' Europe on Monday, but he changed his tune once he had played a practice round or two. Now all Goodman asks is a better than average share of the breaks. This is one of the most heavily gambled tourneys in recent years. Bookmakers are doing a rushing business. One bookie offered even money that 288, two strokes above the limit, would not be good enough to win and he lias covered a lot of bets. One round of eighteen holes will be played by each of the 150 contestants today and another is listed for tomorrow'. Then there will be an elimination with the low sixty and ties going into a thirty-six-hole scramble on Saturday. Incidentally, there is another even money bet—chat there will be a tie with a playoff on Sunday. In fact most of the experts agree the most likely developments are a winner by five or six strokes, or a two-three-or-four-place tie.

or phoney. Jimmy Johnston, Garden matchmaker, appeared ready to fight Baer himself, if necessary, to get him into the Garden bowl on the night of June 14. The Garden has upward of $200,000 in the tills, according to Johnson, and he scored the thought that Baer’s move was a sly effort to get more elbow room between the McLarnin-Ross fight and the impending heavyweight embroglio. From Pompton Lakes, where Carnera is getting in trim, an even more indignant squaw'k w 7 as raised by Professor Louis Soresi, the champion’s spokesman, soresi says Carnera will “lose his edge” if the fight is put off. Camera himself merely flexed a paw like a Westphalia ham, examined a set of knuckles that looked like a row of cocoanuts, and grinned toothily. “I am ready for heem,” he murmured. Ancil Hoffman, who made the announcement at Baer’s training quarters that the challenger would ask for a week’s delay, is to appear Friday morning before the commission to put in his plea. However, Johnston will meet the commissioners, too, and will fight the postponement. “We will lose if the fight is postponed,” Johnston said. “This sort of thing never helped a fight.” Jack Dempsey's advice to Hoffman to ask for a delay came after the former champion watched Baer get jounced around by two dusky sparring fellows, Larry Johnson of Chicago and Dynamite Jackson of Los Angeles.
